I often forget when I'm in my studio painting. I usually start painting about ten in the morning when the house is empty and mean to stop by noon for lunch (and to give my back a break) but often find myself heading into the house at 2 or 3 looking for a late lunch.

Yeah, I don't really totally forget to eat, but when I'm really focusing on work or a project, I don't really think about food until I'm very hungry. I can go eight or more hours without food as long as I have a cup of coffee next to me. That is unfortunate because then I don't plan meals and wind up choosing midless fast food.

I start planning for lunch as soon as I finish breakfast, and dinner as soon as I finish lunch. I assemble the ingredients for tomorrow's breakfast before I go to sleep. Forgetting to eat is, to me, unthinkable. I might intentionally skip a meal for whatever reason, but never forget one.

I'm right there with you RealMenJ... forgetting to eat is unthinkable for me. I always wonder too when I hear someone say that. I have NEVER forgotten to eat. Intentional skipping yes, forgetting no. It must be a gene that I don't have. Even if I'm totally engrossed in something I don't forget.
